About Bonfire

Wikipedia defines a bonfire as…

In a world that’s becoming more homogenous by the minute, we believe that creativity is the biggest differentiator for careers and for businesses.

We set out to build something a little different, something that is more us than them. Yes, we’re helping businesses build brands through creative storytelling with coaching, advising, and workshops. But through our content and our community, we also aspire to be a home for creative people — whether you identify as one yet or not.

And we want to invite you to join us as we endeavor to bring more creativity to our lives at work.

Who we are

We are creatives at heart (and by profession!) who have been lucky to get to ply our trade at some pretty cool companies and meet some pretty cool people. We would love to meet you, too.

Not only is Shannon a world-class brand-builder for billion-dollar tech companies, she’s also an artist, writer, and all-around creator who enjoys stretching across virtually any medium. She’s built brand marketing teams. She’s helped make Super Bowl commercials. She co-hosted a songwriting podcast for seven years. And she recently finished her first book (#amquerying). Those who have worked with her at places like Siegel+Gale, Dashlane, and Oyster would do so again in an instant.

Currently into:

  • Books about utopian living

  • What We Do in the Shadows

  • Trying (and failing) to grow scallions in her window box

Kevan Lee

(as written by Shannon)

Kevan’s built the world’s kindest marketing teams at some of the world’s coolest tech companies. From working at big, renowned brands like Vox to taking (now big, now renowned) brands like Buffer and Oyster from zero to one, Kevan shines in the distinctly creative and generative processes involved in nurturing early- and expansion-stage companies into their cranky teenage years—while helping them figure out who they were always meant to be. He’s the boss you’ve always wanted and the creative enabler you deserve.

Currently into:

  • New sources of caffeine (kombucha convert!)

  • Pixel art by his son

  • The Bear, even though the yelling stresses him out
